Don't take offense to this, but I can detect paintwork on just about anything. I deal in a lot of high end cars and it is imperative that I know if it has had paintwork. If it does, I pass. All of todays cars are painted at the factory by robots. Robots paint better then humans because they are computerized and the paint goes on the same thickness all over the car, except for the hood, roof and trunk where the paint is a little thicker. There is an expensive meter that I use to measure paint thickness. If a body man has repainted a car, it usually comes up thicker, because they can't duplicate the robotic painter, thus a higher reading on the meter. If the measurement comes up too low, then it was repainted and buffed down too far.
If you're wondering why I need a meter, it's because at the auction, sometimes I only have about 10 to 20 seconds to look at a car on the auction block. It's much quicker and more accurate putting the meter on the car then depending on my eye.
